Software reconfigurability - algorithm level approach

Multimode operation and reconfiguration capability is one of the main requirements of future radio systems. Programmable hardware/software (HW/SW) technologies have an enabling role in achieving this requirement. These technologies have their own constraints, and restrictions that must be appropriately accounted for when mapping algorithm functionality onto them. Here an algorithmic level reconfigurability approach is proposed that provides HW/SW design flexibility in meeting the required functionalities and multi-mode capabilities within the HW/SW technologies constraints.
